What treatment did Sai Baba recommend for Amir Shakkar's rheumatism?

When Amir Shakkar approached Sai Baba seeking a remedy for his rheumatism, Baba's prescribed treatment was not a conventional medicine but an act of faith and endurance. As detailed in Chapter 22, Baba instructed Amir to stay steadily in the Chavadi. This word from Baba was to be his medicine. Despite the Chavadi being a dilapidated, damp, and unhygienic place, Amir was told not to question the conditions. His healing was tied to his obedience and his nine-month stay in that very location, accepting Baba's word as the ultimate remedy for his ailment.
